The Cut, a wing of New York Magazine usually devoted to indefensibly inane fashion bullshit, posted a cool photo slideshow last week, showcasing 17 photographs by Larry Fink from 1966 of the Warhol gang, including Gerald Malanga, Edie Sedgwick, Ingrid Superstar and, of course, The Velvet Underground. The ones above and below are from same.
Not only are the pics interesting because of the implausibly cool hepcats depicted therein, but they also showcase a surreal glimpse of the Lower East Side from that era. There are a few pics of Malanga and Warhol faffing about with some L.E.S. school kids, and the cityscape pictured behind them looks positively Dickensian in its bleakness.
